STAR WARS - Rise of Rebellion

Genetic Engineering - Adaptive Physiology

Description:

Adaptive Physiology takes the hidden genetic trait a step further allowing a shape changing species to adopt desired genetic traits and then to turn them off when not needed. This is effectively the same as a switch feature for cybernetics, but more complicated as it must be tied into the natural shape changing abilities.

In game mechanics a genetic modification must first be hidden and then made switchable adding another 1,000 credits per feature over the original cost of the feature and the hidden trait for that feature.

An example would be the ability to develop webbing in the hands and feet as well as gills when operating in a marine environment. All features are still considered jury-rig enhancements when active (on a jury rig failure a 1 results in permanent loss of the ability until medical care can fix it while a 2 results in the ability failing, but only requiring a minute of using the shape change to reactivate).

Bio:

Nychtas EvolutionSpyro feels evolution is the result of deliberate genetic modification and feels it is a natural part of species advancement (not a big stretch for Clawdites since they know for certain they were created through genetic engineering). He feels it is only fitting for the species to continue their forced evolutionary journey becoming more adaptive to overcome future obstacles. His current experiments would allow a Clawdite to Enhance themselves in a variety of fashions to adapt to both environment and personal challenge.
